"More than 50 watts over a considerable distance you will need to continue the..."

You need to consider how far the wire run is and how much power you are running to your speakers. If you have a small system with under 50 watts per channel and are extending under 10m you will likely not notice any difference. However if you are pushing more than 50 watts over a considerable distance you will need to continue the run with 16ga or larger wire. Best recommendation is to goto Radio Shack an pony up the extra few $`s for a large enough spool of the right gage wire you need then splice in using wire nuts. If the splice is exposed to the weather, make sure you use electrical tape around the wire nuts to prevent corrosion.
Don`t fall for the Monster Cable BS about needing 00 gage wire for a home theater. I`ve wired many systems including commercial movie houses with 10ga to 16ga wire over the years and not had any problems. You just need to make sure the gage of wire you are using is the minimum for the power wattage your amps produce at max output. Increasing the wire size by 4 to 10 times the minimum is simply a waste of money. Doubly so, if you purchase Monster Cable products.

No, passing a signal from DVI to HDMI does not affect signal quality. What you need to remember though, is that DVI is video only. HDMI can carry both video and audio. So your HDMI will only be getting the video, not the audio if it is being passed through DVI first.

Normally, a good usb webcam can have up to a 3m extension cable added. I have used a 5m cable with my Logitech Orb, but that is the only camera that will still work at that distance, that I have come across. USB1.1 and older USB2 equipment often stops working after 2.5m due to data stream latency. A video camera using firewire/1394, RGB or composite feeds can often connect at 10m or longer distances.

If you go from HDMI to HDMI, it should work. When you do hook up your laptop like that to your Vizio, it is important to remember that you need to hit a few keystrokes on your laptop to send the video and audio to your television. Normally the HDMI connection on your laptop is not turned on.

Although your ipod can contain digitally produced music, the way you get it to your home theater receiver may be the problem. I have used the earphone jack to transfer the music to my receiver and the sound is not that great. I corrected the problem by getting an ipod dock and hooking it up to my home theater. Music sounds great now.

Low quality headphones will not hurt your ears any more than a good quality pair will. The only thing that you might find is that lower quality headphones don`t produce the audio that you would expect so you`ll be turning them up louder to compensate. Louder music through your headphones can damage your hearing.

Wireless speakers are not necessarily better quality than wired ones because they are made by the same manufacturers. You need to find a speaker company that you feel most comfortable with, then find out if they make a wireless version of their speaker.

No, you will not have 1080p if you hook it up like you described. As soon as you have an S video involved, you loose the 1080p capability. S video does not have the ability to transfer the digital signal from the PS3 to your home theater system.
